IRS Spin

So the
IRS has conveniently let it be known that they also looked at “progressive” and
“Occupy” groups.

This is
transparent spin to distract us from their systematic targeting of
Constitutional conservative and tea party groups.

And it
is spin I am not buying. I still
want people in prison for the IRS attacks on 1st Amendment rights. And IF Obama can be linked to the
attacks, it demands impeachment.
(But, again, I think Obama mainly lets his thugs do the dirty work.)

By the
way, I have long thought that Democrat fraud and misconduct was not enough to
swing the 2012 election. There was
no doubt there was massive fraud, but I felt afterwards Romney was so hapless,
he was a loser anyway. And Obama’s
margin of victory was convincing.

But in
light of IRS revelations and how quiet harassed tea party groups were in 2012,
I’m not so sure now. The
anti-Obama/tea party vote turns out strong in 2010, but then in 2012, when
Obama is actually on the ballot, the anti-Obama vote is weak? Huh?

That was
the main shocker of the 2012 election.
I afterwards thought I overestimated Romney’s appeal to conservatives –
or conservative toleration of Romney to put it differently. And that conservatives were fed up with
being fed establishment Republicans was surely a factor. But now it is becoming clear IRS
suppression of tea party groups and of the vote they had turned out so well in
2010 was a big factor, too.

The IRS
played a major role in rigging the 2012 election by harassing and hamstringing
conservative groups in blatant violation of the 1st Amendment. So much so that I am no longer sure
Obama is a legitimate President.
